OCD tendencies have me worrying this like a doggie of Mtaa (east-side!!!) with a bone from the local.

Digression One
Do you know that my neighbor’s mum used to send us to the local to get scraps from the bar & butchery for their doggie? And we used to have to sift through that mess with no latex gloves- to seperate bottle-tops from nyaks and mukimo? I’m so telling on her to my mum 26 10 years later I used to see BestBix ads on TV and wonder who the target audience was… I mean, I used to wonder whether the people buying bestBix didn’t have friendly relations with Professor (as all bar-maids with specs were called “professor’ and they were the go-to gals in all things ‘mabakishio’ )

That’s it.It’s official. I quit.

I have now stopped allowing friends to come to me for advice… I mean… HOW????!!!

Are you ready for this? A person I know called. She’s calling to ask me for my opinion on a delicate situation - a conundrum- a small ka-shida that a friend of hers finds herself in….

With me so far?

Good.

Usual disclaimer—

Have you ever prepared for a meeting with a potential partner? Done your research, analyzed the ‘market’, prepared a concept paper that is truly a staggering work of heartbreaking genius? Thought of fall-back plans from A-Z (OK… A through K)? Worked on your pitch? Are sure of the mutual benefits to both participating organizations?

Life is like a blog… It’s whatever you make of it….
Mutumia.

Forest Gumpy statements aside… I think that maisha is just like a blog. Lemmie explain…

You and only you, decide the fate of your space (OK… pornographic squatters aside who add LP to your name and tell tales of watching ebony XXX with their sons).
